As part of Het Nieuwe Instituut's research on burn-out and exhausted bodies, the Remote Reading Room series investigates how voice, oral histories, and collective, embodied listening, could be deployed as a counterbalance of the pervasiveness of the image and the growing pressure to put bodies on display. For the first event, held on 02/05/2019, Professor of anthropology Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing reads, by means of an audio piece, her work The Mushroom at the End of the World.
